Our expertise spans the full spectrum of inground pool construction options and pool designs.

Starting with the kind of custom shape and size you would like, we can build you a simple pool for cooling down in the Emerald Coast heat, an ornate aquatic masterpiece, or anything in between.

After all, with the design and configuration versatility that gunite pools provide, we can make your aquatic retreat especially appealing and inviting to use.

Beyond your pick of pool shape, you can have us include your choice of decorative options ranging from cascade water features to colorful mosaics.

You can also consider additions that increase your pool’s relaxation quotient, such as a tanning ledge, hydrotherapy spa, or patio fire pit.

Coupled with features that make your pool more attractive is our advanced technology, known as SmartFeatures®. They help make your pool easier to maintain, more economical to operate, and more comfortable to swim.

For example, we offer alternative purification systems that slash chemical use in your inground pool.

You can also select a remote automation system—even a smartphone app—to run a variety of functions on your pool and spa.

Our filters contain antimicrobial product protection and require minimal upkeep.

In addition, our variable-speed pumps are energy-efficient and comply with Florida swimming pool regulations.

We offer even more state-of-the-art features. To see our complete lineup, check out our SmartFeatures® page.

Are your pool’s style and technology stuck in another decade?

We can transform your aquatic eyesore into an inviting outdoor retreat with modern aesthetics, improved energy efficiency, and greater functionality for you and your family.

The renovations team at our Freeport-based office has completed many multifaceted pool restoration projects, and so the future of your aging amenity will be in capable hands.

In consultation with you, our trained professionals will develop a comprehensive plan tailored to fully update your pool’s unique structure, materials, features, decking, and equipment.

Listening to your concerns and wishes is critical to a proper consultation. We will walk through the elements that you want repaired or replaced, and we ask what matters most to those in your household who use the pool.

Our remodel specialist will assess the condition of all aspects of your pool and patio, as well as the pool equipment.

If a replastering is on the agenda, our crews will chip out the current finish. Once the gunite material is uncovered, they can inspect the gunite structure for cracks, decomposition, or rebar bleeds and make any needed repairs.

—A holistic approach to your pool’s revival

You may be pleasantly surprised when our Santa Rosa team suggests renewal options and upgrades you may not have even known were feasible for pool renovations.

So, in addition to common hitlist items such as replacing tile and coping, applying fresh plaster, building a new deck, and installing new equipment, he or she may propose brand-new amenities, decorative features, and other solutions to rejuvenate your pool and backyard.

That could entail tactics such as shallowing a deep pool, adding a sun shelf or custom spa, integrating landscape pockets into the coping and deck, building a short stone-clad wall of water features, or accenting the pool entry steps and floor with colorful mosaics.

We can also outfit your pool with new equipment. Our state-of-the-art SmartFeatures® have slashed utility bills and made pool ownership more convenient for tens of thousands of homeowners across the country. They can achieve similar results for you.

For example, Blue Haven’s exclusive, antimicrobial cartridge filter saves time and water, our variable-speed pump complies with Florida energy efficiency laws, and our SmartPure® system ensures a silky soft, sparkling swimming environment.

When we complete this makeover project, you will be amazed at the results.

Your reinvigorated pool and patio will look their best, function more comfortably and efficiently, and provide a dramatically improved leisure and swimming environment for family and friends!

Our Gunite Pool Construction Process

We want to ensure that every detail of your new backyard resort meets your expectations. That’s why we approach pool construction with superb attention to detail at every step of the way. Here is a basic overview of the key phases in our typical process of building gunite pools in and near Santa Rosa Beach.

Based on your property, local building requirements, and your pool’s design, materials, and features, this sequence may vary slightly.

Pre-construction1We finalize the design with your written approval, obtain building permits, and prepare the dig site.

SHORT-PLUMB /
PRE-PLUMB

STEEL REINFORCEMENT4Install a network of reinforcing rebar per a certified, engineer-approved steel schedule.
BONDING5Licensed electrician bonds the light, the steel structure, and any other metal fixtures.
CONCRETE STRUCTURE6Shoot concrete through a high-pressure hose to form a monolithic pool shell, including steps, benches, and any spa, tanning ledges, or other integrated features.
DECK LAYOUT7Remove any sod or plant cover. Create a layout on the site, and grade the earth so it is level and the deck can be installed at the intended elevation.
FINAL PLUMBING8Install the pump, filter, and any other equipment, and run underground plumbing lines between equipment and pool.
ELECTRICAL WIRING9Run main electrical line from house panel to equipment pad.
Complete installation of the control panel, switches, lights, and any other electrical components.
